| almost immediately fall behind Eli who is extremely muscular and uses his upper body strength to pull ahead. I’m strong, but | don’t have the training that he’s had. However, he’s not nearly as good at balance as | am, and add to that, the flying logs intended to knock you off the small beam, | am able to gain sground on him.
| have to admit, my competitive nature is spurred by having to run this course against Eli. | can see he’s having the same response. We're pushing ourselves harder and harder as we get closer to the end.

We're almost to the end when a huge log comes swinging down, | duck just in time, but Eli is too big and gets smacked off the stump he’s jumping on, pool of water below. I’m laughing as | jump to the end and hit the stop button. | look down, watching him cup and shake the water out of his hair. He grins up atbefore pulling himself out of the water.
“That was fun! I’m glad | get to run it again.” He says.
Rik and Liam line up at the beginning of the course and when the starter gun goes off, it’s mayhem. They are ultra-competitive with each other, both pushing to get ahead. Liam is more muscular than Rik but Rik has the edge with agility. They are fairly equally matched and end up hitting the stop button at the stime.
For the rest of the afternoon, we run the obstacles, sometimes in wolf form and sometimes in human form. | only beat the guys in human form if they fell off the obstacle, and even then, Liam still tied with me.
However, in wolf form, Maia kicked all their butts. I’d like to say that she is a gracious winner, but not at all. She pranced around smacking their wolves with her tail, howling her dominance and flaunting her superiority. Angel and Cara loved every minute of it, giving Maia lots of hugs and ‘atta girl’s. By the twe were done, | was exhausted.
Thankfully, Luna Calista ended up making dinner for us, so we were able to sit outside and eat. I’m blaming the extremely long work out session for the embarrassing way | fell asleep in Eli's arms. After dinner, he pulledinto his lap again. | can tell this is his new favorite thing, but | wasn’t complaining. | leaned against him, tucking my nose under his neck and the next thing | know, he’s puttinginto bed. He must have carriedall the way back to the packhouse, which is miles away from the Clint’s and Cara’s home. Or, | guess it’s Anders and Calista’s now.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next morning, | woke up sore, but we had already discussed havingworkout again before we head back to our pack. Eli planned to leave after lunch, so this time, we worked out in the inside gym. This obstacle course was built differently, but it was no less gruesome, especially considering my sore muscles. After lunch, Cara gavesmuscle soak, after ensuring that we have a functional bathtub. She toldto make the water as hot as | could stand before pouring the salts into the tub. | can’t wait to use them.
Rik, Liam and Angel ran with us to the canyon, where Liam and Angel broke off to head to their pack and Rik said goodbye as we left for ours. All in all, it was a good weekend. I’ve agreed to continue my training, coming to see them again in two weeks when Ailduin returns. After that, we'll see how often | can cto train with Cara and Angel. | think the more we train together, the stronger we will all become. But sof that will also depend on their pregnancy and delivery of their babies. Either way, | know the bonds that we have started to forge this weekend will only continue to grow and strengthen.
